[ applause ] by the way, i might feel differently, because it's not like i like to pay taxes. i might feel differently if we were still in surplus, but we've got this huge deficit. everybody agrees we need to do something about these deficits and debts. so the money we're spending on these tax cuts for the wealthy is a major driver of our deficit, a major contributor to our deficit, costing us a trillion dollars over the next decade. by the way, these tax cuts for the wealthiest americans are also the tax cuts

clinton in '93, he raised taxes but said this is the tax policy going forward for the next four years. i think governor romney, being a business man and an executive understands that he needs to set policy for people so that he can understand what their cost of capital is. i do believe that the republican economic plan is going to be a great success for the markets long-term and i frankly think europe needs us to help pull them out of the situation that they're in. >> what do you expect to hear from paul ryan tonight? >> we were talking about that earlier. i think paul is a little bit of a technocrat, a phenomenal campaigner. he's a great ex-tetemeraneous speaker. he is somebody that woody johnson said it earlier, he's a bipartisan sort of person, a healing sort of person and a man on the mission and that mission is to save our country and save our economic financial situation. so he'll talk a little bit about that financial cliff we're all fearing as well. >> on a first name basis with him, huh? >> well, you know, look, i'm trying to be on a first name base witne basis with everybody
